The Obama campaign has tried to deflect attention from Goolsbee by
making false attacks on Hillary Clinton. Several members of the Clinton
administration and Clinton biographers independently confirm that she
was critical of NAFTA in the early 1990s.
*DAVID GERGEN:* "I was actually there in the Clinton White House during
the NAFTA fight and I must tell you Hillary Clinton was extremely
unenthusiastic about NAFTA. And I think that's putting it mildly. I'm
not sure she objected to all the provisions of it but she just didn't
see why her husband and that White House had to go and do that fight.
She was very unhappy about it and wanted to move on to health care. So I
do think there's some justification for her camp saying, you know, she's
never been a great backer for NAFTA." [David Gergen, Anderson Cooper
360, 2/25/08]
*DEE DEE MYERS:* Q: And you know, Dee Dee, the first thing that came to
my mind is, "Come on." What is she going to do?... Meyers: Right, and
she did express - I was there too - and she did express reservations
about it, as she said. [MSNBC, 3/20/08]
*MICKEY KANTOR:* "In August in 92, we had to make a decision," Mickey
Kantor the former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Clinton adviser, and free
trade advocate recalled for the Huffington Post. "President Clinton had
to make a decision as governor, whether or not he would support [George
H.W. Bush's] NAFTA, and of course he did... Hillary Clinton was one of
the great skeptics in the discussion as to whether he should do. So she
was always skeptical beginning in 1992 and onward." [Huffington Post,
2/14/08]
_Clinton Biographers:_
*SALLY BIDELL SMITH:* "Liberal Democrats, including Hillary, opposed it
primarily because it could take jobs away from American workers. But as
an advocate of global economic cooperation, Bill was drawn to its
free-trade philosophy." [Huffington Post, 2/14/08]
*CARL BERNSTEIN:* "'Bill,'" he recalled Hillary Clinton as saying, "'you
are doing Republican economics when you are doing NAFTA.' She was
against NAFTA. And if she would somehow come out and tell the real story
of what she fought for in the White House and failed in a big argument
with her husband she would end up moving much closer to those [John]
Edwards followers." [Huffington Post, 2/14/08]
